It is very easy to record high quality video these days but editing those clips out to share the interesting moments can be really time consuming. Fire up a video editor on mobile or desktop and then load the video, scrub through it to find the relevant points and then edit the video before the interesting bits can be shared. What if the process became more simple? That is what Flagg’it envisions. It’s a solution that allows you to flag the best moments of your activities while videos are being recorded, thus drastically reducing editing time.
The way this works is that every time you wish to “drop a flag,” you press the device. The mark will automatically pop up on the video timeline so you’ll know where to look when editing, eliminating the need to watch the whole video just to find the interesting part. It is very practical for people who use action cameras, like GoPro, to record intense activities like snowboarding or base-jumping.
Software is also provided with the Flagg’it remote which makes it even easier to share the flagged moments within seconds. The device itself is compatible with all kinds of cameras as long as they support audio recording.
Flagg’it is a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter that’s seeking $50,000 to bring the device to production. Pledging $59 now will reserve a unit for you which is 25 percent off the retail price. Shipment is expected to begin in July 2015.
